Starkayaksails.com present sailing in a gusty 20knots, complete with capsising and recovery. Well reefed in and sailing solo in the tandem kayak. The purpose of this sail was to check how the extra batten near the clew helped clean the sail under load, which it does very nicely.

Starkayaksails.com present sailing on Sydney Harbour. Bit gusty and plenty of big boats around, so I kept the sail well reefed in to ensure no mishaps.
Since making this vid I have added a small batten near the clue that keeps the sail much cleaner under higher loads.

First time to try the ocean. Hooked instantly. Perfect conditions. About 6 knots of wind and a .8m swell. Rig handling well, only problem was the yak was taking on water fast and had to scurry back before we sank. Found the problem. "So sorry very cheap kayak" lets on water through seat well. Design fault where the bottle holder bungee is located via 2 holes that lets in water real fast. Both seat wells and I estimated about 1lt per minute. How on earth could these yaks be used I have no idea, but problem easily fixed with a spot of silicone. Looking forward to next outing and me thinks some outriggers.

starkayaksails.com present the new universal fitting kit. Maiden voyage, fitted to a "no name we make cheap copy but use not good kayak to copy so sorry brand". It looks like a copy of a "seak tandem" which has a reputation for being difficult to steer. Picked it up cheap so we could use as a research vessel. We fitted a rudder - note the rudder bar on the outfit. Lee boards worked a charm and easily trimmed to keep a neutral rudder.
